Holiday World to announce $9million investment.

[D1993]

that is true, I wonder if they will be getting yet another wooden coaster?
Maybe a really compact and long GCI? 9 million could easily fit under that budget.

How exactly can it be compact and long?

With the amount of press noise they are making about this, I expect it to be a major coaster. As others have pointed out, you can't really get a major steel coaster for that, but you can get wood, so I expect (and hope) it will be wooden. I think they will go down the path of marketing themselves and having their image as wooden coaster capital of the world. A wooden Cedar Point.

Currently the park with the most woodies in the world is Blackpool with 5. If this was a racing GCI, that would equal the record.

just to answer your question, not trying to continue the thread or anything.

I meant that it could have a medium-large scale footprint and be long in duration, I didnt really mean length.
that way it could go on for a while through twist amazing-ness. Like Twister at Grona Lund, that lasts for a decent duration, if they had a larger footprint they could have done that.

But obviously its not that now we know. Hopefully this wooden coaster comes sometimes in the future.
